New Logan’s Roadhouse to open in August

A new casual steakhouse will open its doors to hungry diners in Kissimmee later this summer.

Nashville, Tenn.-based Logan’s Roadhouse, best known for its peanut-shell strewn floors and described as a “classic roadhouse from days past,” announced it has a new 237-seat eatery in the works.

The new 6,505-square-foot restaurant at 8207 W. Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway — which has a Kissimmee address but is in unincorporated Orange County — will open in mid-August and will create about 130 jobs in the area.

The restaurant chain declined through a spokesman to name the project’s general contractor, nor did it release project costs.
